Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 504 - 503 Imbalance

Everyone realized that despite all their enthusiasm, Four Eyes seemed to have stopped talking.

For a moment, it was as if all their fervor had been vented into thin air.

Those people didn’t know whether Four Eyes had stopped talking because he hadn’t seen their righteous statements,

or if Four Eyes had been frightened into silence by Xian Tailang’s threats and didn’t dare to speak out on social media anymore.

If it was the latter, everyone felt that they should encourage Four Eyes even more.

They couldn’t "yield" to the likes of Xian Tailang’s evil influence.

As for a scoundrel like Xian Tailang, everyone was now joining forces to stand up against him.

But no matter what everyone else said, if Four Eyes, the main character, didn’t speak up, wouldn’t all their efforts be in vain?

Most importantly, with Four Eyes silent, whether Su Mu will take a look became even more uncertain.

Everyone was bad-mouthing Xian Tailang so vigorously and criticizing his misdeeds— all to show Su Mu.

Of course, those classmates didn’t dare to tag Su Mu directly, to show him how hard they were trying to perform.

If they didn’t dare to tag Su Mu, then they should just provoke Four Eyes to come out, right?

Everyone believed that, with Four Eyes being such a blabbermouth, even if Su Mu really didn’t check social media today, Four Eyes would definitely tell Su Mu about today’s events.

Besides, everyone genuinely thought that Su Mu would check social media if he had time.

It must be said that these people’s guesses were very accurate.

Su Mu was indeed slowly browsing through his classmates’ posts, championing justice.

Because Four Eyes had not spoken in time, unlike the others’ anxiousness, Xian Tailang was outright smug.

"I always say you’re more anxious than the emperor himself. Have you seen Four Eyes say anything?"

"When Four Eyes, the person involved, hasn’t spoken, do you all need to jump out and yap about it?"

"How come I find you all so free after the final exams? Do you want to form a ’Xian Tailang Squad’ or something?"

"I’ll have you know, whatever I, Xian Tailang, say, I don’t take back. Maybe right now, Four Eyes is actually selecting that back-view girl’s frontal photo. Keep that in mind."

"If Four Eyes dares not to post the frontal photo of his back-view girl, I’ll definitely confront him tomorrow."

"When I say I’ll do something, I mean it. Anyone free tomorrow can go to the entrance of Four Eyes’ villa complex to see if I’m not confronting him, I’ll be a dog."

"Of course, if Four Eyes wisely posts the front photo of that back-view girl, I wouldn’t want to do such boring things."

It was precisely because of Four Eyes’ temporary silence that Xian Tailang felt he had Four Eyes in his grip.

Xian Tailang’s words could really be described as the height of arrogance.

Su Mu also found it odd upon seeing this— why had Four Eyes suddenly fallen silent?

After thinking about it, it’s possible that at that time, Four Eyes was discussing with himself the compliment that Li Minli had given earlier that day.

Su Mu felt that Li Minli had taken a liking to Four Eyes, and if Four Eyes had been a bit more alert at that time and confessed again, maybe things would have been as everyone said.

The back-view girl might have already become Four Eyes’ girlfriend by now.

Then the outing between Four Eyes and the back-view girl would indeed be a date with Four Eyes and his girlfriend, right?

Su Mu guessed that Four Eyes must have been full of regret at the time, naturally having neither the time nor the mood to bother with a trivial topic from someone like Xian Tailang.

Four Eyes would definitely not post Li Minli’s front photo.

Su Mu was acutely aware of this.

"If you compromise with a guy like Xian Tailang this time."

Then, who knows what sort of nasty tricks Xian Tailang will come up with after Four Eyes actually posts Li Minli’s frontal photo?

True to his name, Xian Tailang really does have too much idle time.

The average person wouldn’t think of the things that Xian Tailang could come up with to stir trouble.

And with his family’s indulgence, Xian Tailang’s actions do indeed seem reckless.

Su Mu wasn’t sleepy, and slowly scrolled through his feed.

Su Mu just wanted to see how his good friend Four Eyes was going to deal with this "sticky candy" Xian Tailang.

"Xian Tailang, maybe Four Eyes just had something urgent and couldn’t check his Moments, so don’t be so full of yourself."

"Xian Tailang, who do you think you are, thinking with a word from you Four Eyes would go find that backlit girl’s frontal photo?"

"Xian Tailang, I never realized how awesome you were back in school. Now you’re acting like the boss, I wonder how many lackeys you have beneath you to be so smug."

"Xian Tailang, just go back to being your idle self. Sure, you’re really idle, but you don’t need to keep showing everyone how idle you are."

...

Although Four Eyes hadn’t responded in Moments for the time being, it seemed everyone’s determination to support Four Eyes hadn’t weakened one bit.

Everyone had actually begun to unite against Xian Tailang on their own initiative.

Xian Tailang probably couldn’t figure out for the life of him why everyone’s attitudes had changed after graduating from high school.

And it didn’t seem to be about graduation.

In Xian Tailang’s view, the shift in attitude happened in just a minute.

Before Xian Tailang himself made a move, he clearly saw that everyone was egging on Four Eyes in his Moments to post the backlit girl’s frontal photo.

Xian Tailang, too, was idling at home with nothing to do, so he joined in this "imperial siege."

Xian Tailang remembered the last time Four Eyes had posted something about the backlit girl in his Moments.

But at that time, Xian Tailang was on vacation in the Maldives with his newest girlfriend.

The two of them were in the throes of romance, so Xian Tailang, quite unusually, didn’t leave any comments in Four Eyes’ Moments.

But the situation is different now.

Xian Tailang’s speed in changing girlfriends is first-rate.

Feeling bored, he casually found a reason and dumped the girl.

Now, in his single state, Xian Tailang naturally became an idle person who was panicking again.

Seeing Four Eyes’ Moments, it would be strange if Xian Tailang didn’t do something.

"What’s it to you guys? You don’t think that Four Eyes hasn’t posted that backlit girl’s frontal photo despite all your talk, but now that I’ve said something today, Four Eyes will immediately post it, making you feel imbalanced, right?"

"But there’s nothing you can do about it. Who’s to blame when you’re just some guys who only talk big and have no guts? Four Eyes would be strange to bother with you."

"I just happen to have time today, let’s consider it a free lesson for you."

"Look, if you don’t have a bit of courage, even something as trivial as seeing a photo can never be achieved."

Xian Tailang was indeed unbearably smug; now he even started to lecture people in Four Eyes’ Moments.

Xian Tailang felt no shame about his behavior, nor did he think it was embarrassing.

For Xian Tailang, this was actually a matter of great honor.

Everyone was truly speechless at Xian Tailang’s blatant bragging.

Seeing that they could not reason with Xian Tailang, everyone started to urge Four Eyes again.

"Four Eyes, where are you? You’re not taking lovey-dovey hotline calls and leaving us hanging here, are you?"

"Four Eyes, we’re all anxious for you, at least say something."

"Calling Four Eyes, calling Four Eyes, if you don’t show up soon, I’m going to post a missing person notice."

"Four Eyes, just give us a peep if you see this, don’t bother with Xian Tailang, the bros are all backing you up."

...

"You people really, no matter how we talk you won’t believe it, just wait for Four Eyes to post the backlit girl’s frontal photo and see how it slaps you in the face."

Xian Tailang saw that after saying so much, these former classmates still seemed to side with Four Eyes, and he was anxious.

Xian Tailang had never thought that Four Eyes was that likable.

Why was everyone acting so out of character today?

Could it be that Four Eyes’ company’s value had shot up during the few days he went on vacation?

That shouldn’t be right either; even if it increased in value, it couldn’t have doubled, could it?

Xian Tailang picked up his phone and checked, but there was no news about Four Eyes’ family company.

That meant Xian Tailang’s earlier guess was incorrect.

Since it wasn’t that Four Eyes’ net worth had risen, Xian Tailang really didn’t understand what was behind his classmates’ sudden change in attitude.

If he couldn’t figure it out, then he wouldn’t think about it. That was always Xian Tailang’s life principle.

This time was no exception.

Xian Tailang certainly didn’t want to exhaust himself.

"Xian Tailang, then you just wait and see patiently if Four Eyes will indeed satisfy your desire."

"I was planning to go out and have fun today, but I’m not going anywhere now. I’m just going to sit at home with my phone and see if you, Xian Tailang, can finally get to see the frontal photo of the backlit girl that Four Eyes posts."

"Four Eyes, whatever time you check your friend’s circle, you’ve got to pull something impressive, if you satisfy Xian Tailang’s boredom this once, who knows what unreasonable request he will make next time."

"Exactly, Four Eyes, with so many friends, dealing with Xian Tailang is a matter of minutes for you. Just make sure you don’t let Xian Tailang lead you by the nose."

Someone started to hint at Four Eyes.

Honestly, everyone knew Four Eyes was capable enough to deal with Xian Tailang in minutes, but such individuals were rare.

After all, wasn’t it just Su Mu?

But people didn’t dare to directly mention Su Mu’s name, so they simply hinted that Four Eyes himself couldn’t handle Xian Tailang, and might look to friends for assistance.

Naturally, this friend they referred to was Su Mu.

The person speaking believed they had hinted enough, and Four Eyes should know who to ask for help by now, right?

"What friend does Four Eyes have that could take me down in minutes? You guys are such a joke, don’t tell me you think my old man is just for show? To be taken down in minutes?"

"Even if I gave Four Eyes’ friends a few hours, I doubt they’d be able to deal with me."

Xian Tailang was clearly enraged by that classmate’s words, and he began to rage directly in Four Eyes’ friend circle.

This was a big issue concerning Xian Tailang’s face, and naturally, Xian Tailang could not pretend he didn’t see it.

I most definitely would’ve offed myself.

Even if it’s just talk, Xian Tailang felt it was a tremendous insult to himself.

Xian Tailang thought if he didn’t set the record straight with Four Eyes’ circle of friends, how could he ever show his face in Huadong City again?

Clearly, Xian Tailang had forgotten that Four Eyes also had Su Mu as a good friend.

Logically, Xian Tailang was aware of Su Mu’s true identity.

Though he hadn’t attended that dinner party, he had learned of this significant news the very next day.

Upon hearing it, Xian Tailang was so shocked that he was dumbfounded for a while.

Once he came to his senses, Xian Tailang, not too dumb, immediately recalled all the nonsense he’d been up to at Huadong City International Middle School.

After confirming that he hadn’t crossed Su Mu without knowing his true identity, Xian Tailang’s anxious heart finally settled down.

The young master of the Su Family, even if Xian Tailang was a mess, he knew this wasn’t someone he could afford to offend.

So, back then, Xian Tailang secretly thought himself clever for this realization.

He caused so much trouble in high school, got into so many scrapes, but none of them had anything to do with Su Mu.

Xian Tailang felt he really had excellent foresight.

In truth, back then, Su Mu didn’t pay the slightest attention to Xian Tailang.

So naturally, Xian Tailang wouldn’t have had the chance to offend Su Mu in any way.

Unfortunately, Xian Tailang had confirmed so many things yet singularly forgot that Four Eyes had already become good friends with Su Mu during high school.

Wouldn’t that reveal the one, according to their classmates, who could take care of Xian Tailang in minutes?

If Xian Tailang had thought of Su Mu at this moment, he wouldn’t have spoken so arrogantly.

After all, if Su Mu made a move, he truly could take Xian Tailang down in minutes.

And it certainly wouldn’t take the few hours Xian Tailang claimed he couldn’t be dealt with.

"Xian Tailang, just wait."

"Xian Tailang, I really don’t want to talk to you anymore, I can only say you wasted three years of high school."

A couple of classmates, probably unable to bear Xian Tailang’s idiotic talk any longer, hinted as much with their words.

Regrettably, Xian Tailang’s thoughts were solely fixated on merely waiting for Four Eyes to post the girl’s frontal photo.

As for the "kind-hearted classmates" mentioning something about wasting three years of high school, Xian Tailang thought those people were just hilarious.

As if it had anything to do with studying.

Xian Tailang knew his academic performance was indeed quite poor, but didn’t that still leave him as the only one capable of forcing Four Eyes to post the girl’s frontal photo?

No matter how good your grades are, Four Eyes didn’t pay attention to you guys, did he?

In Xian Tailang’s view, Four Eye’s silence was surely due to fear of him.

Since Four Eyes was afraid, Xian Tailang was convinced that Four Eyes would definitely comply with his demands.

After all, if Four Eyes made Xian Tailang unhappy, Xian Tailang would truly go to Four Eyes’ villa complex to lie in wait for him.

Xian Tailang also believed Four Eyes knew that he would do as he said.

Xian Tailang was quite satisfied with this "excellent quality" of his.
